Disclosure, the duo of brothers Howard and Guy Lawrence, will hit the road this spring, leading up to the release of their full-length in June. They'll play across North America beginning next month, including stops at South by Southwest and Coachella.

These young brothers stand out from the pack because of their interest in writing songs, says Helen Brown.

Honing their craft in a room above an auction house, with their dad’s hammer banging away below, two brothers from Reigate in Surrey have been reinvigorating the club scene with a sleek, supple sound that harks back to Nineties garage and house.

After almost a decade of dance floors dominated by twitchy, trainer-gazing dubstep beats, the return to a more expansive, fluid sound that you can stretch your limbs into is refreshing. Imagine more inclusive, crowd-sweeping beams of light and less strobes.

They’re still ridiculously young to be selling out sets all over the world: Guy Lawrence is just 22, while Howard turned 19 last month.
And they’re relatively recent converts to electronic music. They come from a musical family (dad’s a rock guitarist and mum performed on cruise ships). Guy can’t remember a time when he couldn’t play the drums, and Howard took up the bass at three.

It has been a couple of years since Disclosure's Howard and Guy Lawrence stashed their records and clothes at their parents' house in the London suburb of Surrey, went off on their first U.S. tour and, at some indeterminate snare kick along the way, established themselves as the global faces of a house music revival.

In addition to selling out every American show, the brothers have collaborated with Mary J. Blige ("F for You") and emerged as Madonna's favorite new EDM act. Best of all, their Sam Smith-buoyed single — "Latch," No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 — has become a song-of-summer phenomenon, almost 20 months after its original release in the United Kingdom in October 2012.

"We thought 'Latch' was too weird for the radio and not clubby enough for the clubs," admits Guy, 23, the duo's drummer, mixer and elder sibling by three years. "It's in 6/8 time — not even 4/4, which is house's tempo."

Clean-shaven, with restless sea-gray eyes and tawny hair that crests from right to left, he smiles while being shuttled in a black SUV through Los Angeles traffic, part of Disclosure's migration from one top 40 radio station interview to the next. "'Latch,'" he decides, "is just a strange song that people like."

In fact, it's more like a generational anthem. "Latch" is the most Shazamed song everywhere, from Tijuana, Mexico, to Huntsville, Ala., to house's ancestral home, Chicago — and it arguably has made Disclosure the biggest British crossover act since Adele.

Disclosure are to release a new album titled 'Caracal' this September.

The album, the group's second full-length following 2013's 'Settle', will be released September 25 and is available to pre-order from tomorrow (June 8). It will likely include recent single 'Holding On', which features Gregory Porter. Disclosure have previously promised that other "big names" will appear on the record.
